Pics....
Long story short, my oil cap vibrated off and oil splashed every where under the hood and on the edge of my hood mask(bra). Cleaned it as best as I could with a car upholstery cleaner(by turtle). But when the car sits in the sun the oil seeps throug the pores!! I dont want to wash it in water for fear of spreading the oil.
Ive cleaned it so many times...Im wondering if its junk...

Please some one chime in with what I could use, or would profession detailer be able to save it!!! Let me know if pics would help. Thanks

Honda Tool

Dawn dish soap.

Guess I'll give it a try, hope the water doesnt carry the oil and spreads its.... but I have no plan B. Call dry cleaner and auto detailers and neither can help me in this situation..

^this and some good wax, clean it by hand with a microfiber towel just repeat till its gone and then put a coat of wax on it because dawn removes all the previous wax you had on it.

Well, after an hour of scrubbing and drowing in Dawn soap, looks like the area I focused the most on has removed most the oil..since the car sat in the sun there was hardly ant oil seeping through.. Now for the Bumper half...

Question?
The oil seemed to have "warped" the vinyl cusing bumps...any gusesse if heat and time will flatten and make smooth once again?

Sadly..will probably end up buying a new one if it doesnt...

Sound dumb. But try lil gasoline. Damp it first and slowly wipe it.
Do a little section by section

Please don't use gasoline. It will affect the vinyl methinks
